Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will fight YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a professional eight-round bout on December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
The fight, which will stream live on Netflix, pits the highly experienced 36-year-old Joshua (28-4) against the 28-year-old Paul (12-1) in a high-profile crossover event.
Joshua, an Olympic gold medallist, enters the ring for the first time since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
Despite initial denials, he accepted the match against Paul, who recently defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and famously beat Mike Tyson in a 2024 exhibition.
The professional contest is scheduled for eight three-minute rounds.
